UFC Fight Night 199: Rockhold vs. Bisping 2

Luke Rockhold (15-2-0) vs. Michael Bisping (29-7-0)

Luke Rockhold defends his UFC Middleweight Championship against challenger Michael Bisping at UFC Fight Night 199.

Luke Rockhold is the current UFC Middleweight Champion, having taken that title from Chris Weidman in his most recent outing. The California native has won his last five bouts overall, and has just two losses to his name in his MMA career dating back to 2007. He has been particularly impressive as of late, with three consecutive Performance of the Night awards. Michael Bisping fell victim to Rockhold in November 2014, and since that defeat has won three straight fights, including a victory by unanimous decision over the legendary Anderson Silva. While he is the underdog, he will have plenty of motivation in this revenge match to spring an upset.
